'There is complexity putting barriers into the river, we have to take into account the environment of the river, and also the fact there's a lot of traffic on the river, and a river flow,' Mr Punch said.

CHEAT, and try the NYT Spelling Bee "I've been playing around with using FIRST, MANIC or CHEAT to start with. I don't know if that says more about my frame of mind than my word solving skills, but this approach has pretty much led to me solving within three words. (I got PANIC the other day in two!) But I have to say that while I enjoy Wordle, I'm still a bigger fan of the NYT's Spelling Bee, where you're asked to create words using seven letters, and each word has to use the letter at the center of the puzzle. I play Spelling Bee with my husband (he gets half the points to Genius; I get the other half). With Wordle, we play against each other to see who can solve faster. So Spelling Bee just seems nicer." --Connie Guglielmo

Central Kyiv was empty by Friday afternoon as residents fled as Russian troops advanced on the capital from Chernobyl. More Russian troops and armour are advancing on the capital from Konotop, in the east, having bypassed the city of Chernihiv where they ran into heavy Ukrainian resistance

Corpses of two Russian servicemen who had dressed in military fatigues in an apparent bid to sneak into the Ukrainian capital were pictured strewn next to an unmarked armoured vehicle after they were killed in a skirmish with Kyiv's forces early this morning.

Big AUDIO dynamite "AUDIO. Get 4 out of 5 vowels out of the way immediately and focus on narrowing down consonants. Don't be afraid to deviate from your regular starter word, though -- sometimes a random word that pops into your head ends up being way more intuitive than you could have ever imagined." --Ashley Esqueda

The focus of their multi-year study has been to establish precisely how pico- and nano-phytoplankton underpin the so far stable stock of animal- or zooplankton species that support the vast and diverse food web within the Great Australian Bight.

It will be the first river-barrier in the state's history, but the Bicton and Melville City councils agreed that it was the best thing to do after the latest attack, according to Fisheries Minister Don Punch.

Angry New York City parents and children flooded City Hall Park on Monday morning - the first day children over five are permitted to shed their masks - demanding that those under five be given the same freedom.

Use weird words "You aren't playing Wordle correctly if you use the same word to start every day. That's my official rule and I'm flabbergasted y'all use the same word each day. What? Use weird words. Grab a dictionary, close your eyes and flick to a random page. Start with YACHT one day, try ULCER the next. Look around the room! TOAST? Why not? Just do it! Come on, people. It's not about clearing each day in the least amount of moves, it's about learning to love yourself." --Jackson Ryan

The three-metre shark was sighted just off the shore near Barrack Street Jetty in Perth and reported by a keen-eyed member of the public, as locals remain vigilant after the death of 16-year old Stella Berry in February.

"The analysis of over 10 years of water samples undertaken in this study has deepened our knowledge of the composition of the plantonic ecosystems fundamental to the health and productivity of our marine ecosystems and the fisheries they support."

Project co-author and PhD student Michelle Newman said the research featured analysis of phytoplankton pigment markers, something which required a work-intensive and costly process of collecting water samples.

They deserve exactly what every single other person above the age of five in this city and every single other person in this state is getting today. Join me in demanding that Mayor Adams unmask our toddlers,' she finished to the sound of the crowd chanting 'unmask our toddlers!' 

The plan appeared to be underway in the early hours, as explosions sounded before dawn with the city under bombardment from what the defense minister called 'horrific rocket strikes' not seen since 1941.

Prof Kaempf said ongoing research was critical so as to "not miss the opportunity to understand possible climate-change impacts on this important marine ecosystem such as the enhanced risk of marine heatwaves".
